About this ebook

Given a prime  , a group is called residually   if the intersection of its  -power index normal subgroups is trivial. A group is called virtually residually   if it has a finite index subgroup which is residually  . It is well-known that finitely generated linear groups over fields of characteristic zero are virtually residually   for all but finitely many  . In particular, fundamental groups of hyperbolic  -manifolds are virtually residually  . It is also well-known that fundamental groups of  -manifolds are residually finite. In this paper the authors prove a common generalization of these results: every  -manifold group is virtually residually   for all but finitely many  . This gives evidence for the conjecture (Thurston) that fundamental groups of  -manifolds are linear groups.
